two of Marin's mountains

Our beloved Mount Tamalpais (Tam-al-pie'-us) is our centerpiece and crown-jewell here in Marin County, California. We're located just North of the Golden Gate Bridge.

Marin translates as "marine" in Spanish. The county roughly resembles a triangle, with the Pacific Ocean on one side and San Francisco Bay on another. Fog is our specialty!

And who wouldn't love a shapely mountain named "Elephant"?

You see, there is Marin County, and then there is west Marin County with vast expanses of rolling hills and ranch-land. We have Oysters in fjord-like Tomales Bay. And we have Point Reyes, the Nation's first National Seashore. Marin County is a beautiful place. A "photographer's paradise", I'd call it!

Hi Don,
I love coming here for a dose of the Bay Area.
Terrific fog shots and really like the last one with the reflection and drifting fog.
